Living your truth will set you free.
Living a lie will confine you into a cell of your own making.
Freedom is saying what you think and how you feel, as who you are.
Captivity is saying what you think others want to hear, based on how they feel, so that you can be who they think you are.
Don’t you see? The entire thinking process is under arrest by the anarchical judgements of others.
But, here, in this prison, there are no iron bars. There are no orange jumpsuits. There are no keys or guards.
This cell, the one you might find yourself in when you live a lie, is imaginary.
Whatever guards, keys, jumpsuits, and iron bars you feel incarcerated by, have been (and can only ever be) sentenced by you.
And so is the case for your sentence to freedom—it’s all decided within the confines of your mind.
So, how do you free yourself?
- Share your truth—with those closest to you, first. This is the key that will unlock your cell.
- Embody your truth—start to carry your truth with you into the outer areas of connection in your life. This is you walking out of jail and adjusting back to the “real world.”
- Live your truth—Continue to embody your truth until your truth (finally) becomes you.
